An earthquake shook southern Arizona
one afternoon last week. Considerable
damage was done to buildings at Tucson
The entire population of the city took to
the streets terror-stricken. The court
house cupoa swayed like the mast of IL
ship in turbulent sea. and the building
itself seemed as though it were topping
over. When the shock struck Santa Cat
alma mountain. great slices of earth
were torn from its sides and thrown to
its base. Vast clouds of dust rose above
the crest. 1000 feet above the sea level. ut
different points from three to four miles
apart. 1t was believed for some time
that a volcano had burst out on the crest
of the mountain. One towering peak,
known a. the "Old Castle" a prominent
landmark from Tucson. has entirely dis
appeared. 1t was reported that volca-
noes had broken out in the mountains,
but later dispatches contradict such
statements.

the South valued at 100000 in the hands
of his book-kecpcr George Williams,
with the understanding that Williams
. would return it to him after peace had
, been restored, though no actual obliga-
tons We're laid on Williams shoulders.
Hand settled in Connecticut and made IL
fortune. Williams. although he lost all
the estate in the year succeeding the out
break of the rebellion. afterward was sue
cessful in the brokage business in
Charleston and likewise amasSed for
tune. Six years ago correspondence was
= opened through eX-Judge l.. b. Morris to
see if Williams was willing to pay the
S4OO,OOO. Williams not only agreed to
pay the full amount, but also the inter-
est. The whole amount, about $3.50 900,
